I had to make sure I could do it as it would have been embarrassing to have to quit part way through. I'm sure the aches and stiffness I feel now will probably feel worse in the morning, but I am happy to know that I will be able to complete the ride.
Around here I see a lot more senior road cyclists than I noticed when I started a couple of years ago and that is a good sign. Thanks for letting me bend your ears.
